2014 MISSISSIPPI STATE BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE
MSU BASEBALL RADIO NETWORK Mississippi State University is home to one of the nation’s largest and oldest collegiate baseball radio networks, affording fans throughout the Magnolia State and beyond an opportunity to regularly follow the exploits of the Baseball Bulldogs throughout the season. Network programming for the MSU baseball broadcasts is distributed and coordinated through the facilities of Learfield Sports, Inc., headquartered in Jefferson City, Mo. The 2014 Mississippi State University Baseball Radio Network, a team of more than a dozen radio outlets, carries the broadcasts of a 40-game network schedule (all 30 SEC weekend contests and 10 selected non-conference games) plus all postseason competition. In addition to the 40-game network schedule, the broadcasts of most non-network games are carried in the Golden Triangle area by WKBB-FM (100.9) in West Point, Miss. Most MSU baseball network radio broadcasts are also available on a subscription basis via the internet through HailState.com. The broadcasts feature pregame and postgame interviews, hosted by the “voice” of the Diamond Dawgs, Jim Ellis, and Bart Gregory, who joined the MSU baseball broadcast team in 2012. Radio broadcasts of Bulldog Baseball originated in the 1960s on Starkville radio station WSSO thanks to the work of the late Joe Phillips, a pioneer in radio broadcasting in the state of Mississippi. The MSU baseball stadium press box is named in honor of Phillips. But credit for turning the single-station broadcast into an impressive collection of radio outlets blanketing the Magnolia State goes to veteran MSU sports broadcaster, Jim Ellis, who in 2014 enters his 36th season of describing the exploits of the Baseball Bulldogs. A native of West Point, Miss., and a 1969 MSU grad, Ellis coordinates the operation of State’s baseball radio network. His voice is also a familiar one with State basketball and football fans. He also handles the play-by-play for MSU football and basketball after having teamed on those broadcasts for more than three decades with MSU radio legend Jack Cristil.
Bart Gregory, a native of Nanih Waiya, Miss., and a 1999 State graduate, joined Ellis in the broadcast booth in 2012. He began his career in sports broadcasting at the University of West Alabama in 2000 and returned to Starkville the following year. While at MSU, he initially broadcast women’s basketball games, select baseball games and hosted MSU football pregame and postgame shows and more recently joined Ellis on MSU basketball broadcasts. Gregory’s affiliation with the MSU athletics family began in 2000 with his appointment as an account representative for the Bulldogs Sports Network. Since 2008, he has served in the Bulldog Club as Assistant Athletic Director for Annual Giving. The MSU baseball broadcast lineup also includes a weekly call-in radio show “DawgTalk”. The show begins an eight-week run March 31st and airs each Monday from 7-8 p.m. live from Buffalo Wild Wings in Starkville (703 Spring St.) on affiliated radio stations in Mississippi. Listeners can call 866-9984893 to participate in the show. MSU’s weekly baseball television coach’s show returns for its 27th season in 2014. “Mississippi State Baseball with John Cohen” is a joint production of the Mississippi State University Television Center and Bulldog Sports Properties, a property of Learfield Sports. The 30-minute television program runs for eight weeks this spring and is hosted by the Bulldogs’ skipper and Jim Ellis. It is a production of the Mississippi State University Television Center.

Early in the winter of 2013, Mississippi State baseball announced, ‘We’re Back.’ By the summer of the same year, John Cohen not only had his alma mater back, but perhaps better than it has ever been. One of college baseball’s most storied programs, Cohen took over MSU in the summer of 2008 at perhaps its lowest point in half a century. Legendary coach Ron Polk had retired and Cohen inherited a team which had only won 23 games, just nine in the SEC. Sure, the task of rebuilding was daunting, seemingly akin to standing at the base of Everest, searching for a summit hidden in the clouds. But Cohen had done it before. In the same Southeastern Conference, no less. In 2003, the University of Kentucky hired Cohen in hopes of turning around a reeling program, one that had never seen sustained success. After his inaugural season, Cohen took a perennial conference basement team and reeled off four-straight winning seasons. And not only did his teams improve, the 2006 club won the school’s first-ever SEC Championship, as Cohen was named both National and SEC Coach of the Year, taking the Wildcats from worst-tofirst in the nation’s toughest league. By his final season in Lexington, Cohen had his team 19-0 to start the campaign, earning a top-five ranking, yet another first. Given time, Cohen showed he could rebuild a program. The same reason his former school asked him to return and resurrect the proud Bulldog tradition. Bring back the crowds, play into the depths of summer and make the familiar pilgrimage to Omaha. Just as he had done before, Cohen began to mold his team. On the first day, he went to recruits, telling them they could be a part of bringing MSU back. They could play in the College World Series. They could play for a National Championship. Whether by luck, design or brute willpower, Cohen was true to his word. Following two seasons of some improvement, the Bulldogs broke through in 2011, not only reaching an NCAA Regional, but making it all the way to the final game of a Super Regional, just three outs short of Omaha. 2012, another postseason, another Regional. MSU was close. Then, in 2013, Cohen led his team to the greatest season in school history. And it was no fluke, as the Bulldogs made their first-ever appearance in the Championship Series of the College World Series, racking up 51 wins along the way. The trip to Omaha, just as Cohen had promised, was made. The crowds? Not only did they return, but they brought even more with them as an all-time record 547,266 fans streamed through the gates to watch the Bulldogs play in 2013. And again, the return to the top was anything but an accident or dumb luck. Not only were an impressive seven players off the 2013 team drafted, four of them went in the top 10 rounds. Cohen built a roster deep with talent. Talent, of course, he and his staff developed, molding them like clay, turning potential to production.
2014 MISSISSIPPI STATE BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE
COACHING STAFF At the plate, his Bulldogs racked up a school-record 713 hits, good for third in the country, while junior shortstop Adam Frazier led the NCAA with 107 hits and paced the SEC with 20 doubles. Junior outfielder Hunter Renfroe led the SEC in both home runs and total bases, while finishing second in the conference with an impressive .620 slugging percentage. MSU was at or near the top of the conference in seemingly every offensive category, but the defense carried the load as much as anyone. Sophomore Ross Mitchell not only led the NCAA, but set the MSU record for winning percentage (13-0) in relief in 2013. Yet another sophomore, closer Jonathan Holder tied an MSU record with 21 saves in just one season, smashing the previous school-record of 13. Six pitchers had ERAs under 2.00, with a collective team ERA of 2.79 and an SEC-high 588 strikeouts. Cohen’s mix of youth and experienced seniors proved his ability to recruit, develop and coach any position on the field. Asked about fielding, Cohen chalks it up to “just throwing and catching,” though if it were really so simple, far more would be able to do his job. Technique, awareness, guidance and preparedness helped Cohen’s club tally a record 80 double plays over the course of the 2013 season, racking up record highs in putouts – 1,927 – and assists – 834. At each coaching stop in his career, MSU’s skipper has had an adaptability factor like no other. At smaller ballparks where offense was critical to each teams’ success, Cohen excelled. In his time at each campus, the Tuscaloosa, Ala., native broke the single-season school runs record at Northwestern State (1999), Florida (2002) and Kentucky (2006 and 2008).

As the hitting coach at Missouri in 1996, the Tigers broke the school record for hits (659) and doubles (144). In the same position at Florida in 2002, the Gators led the country in hits (825) and ranked second nationally in average (.346), runs per game (9.74) and home runs per game (1.71). Cohen’s hitters also set or tied 41 total offensive school records (20 team/21 individual). When Cohen was coaching at bigger ballparks, he adjusted accordingly. His Northwestern State pitching staffs set 10 school records from 1998-2001 as Cohen took home two Southland Conference championships and Coach of the Year honors. In Starkville at the spacious Dudy Noble Field, Cohen’s pitching staff enters 2014 leading the country in double plays the last two seasons (151), while being one of two teams nationally last year to finish in the Top-10 in ERA, strikeouts per nine innings and hits allowed per nine innings. In a numbers game, Cohen’s accomplishments are clear, but his impact goes beyond wins and losses or strikeouts and home runs. The best thing about Mississippi State, Cohen has said, is the people. And the people on his team were the stars of the 2013 College World Series, not just for talent, but for personality and success. In addition to multiple All-Americans and several more All-SEC players, a record-high 23 Bulldogs were named Academic All-SEC, tops in the conference by a wide margin. Three had 4.0 GPAs while 24 different players had at least a 3.0 GPA, adding up to a 3.25 full-team GPA during the spring semester when the World Series run began. Senior Sam Frost was the SEC Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year and senior Kendall Graveman was Academic AllSEC for the fourth time in as many years, winning the Newsom Academic Award. Cohen, wherever he has been, has proven himself as a rebuilder of programs, a coach capable of sustaining success, winning championships and developing both players and people. A trend has developed where after year two where his success skyrockets after his second recruiting class on the field and freshmen become sophomores. In his first two years at Kentucky and Mississippi State combined, his teams were a combined 101-119 (.459). In years 3-5 combined in Lexington and Starkville, Cohen went 256124-1 (.673), with five trips to the NCAA Tournament, two SEC Championships and a trip to the College World Series. Just as he predicted at the bottom of the mountain in 2008, Cohen now has Mississippi State at the summit. They’re back.

HAILSTATE.COM
Widely regarded as one of the premiere pitching coaches in America, Mississippi State associate head coach Butch Thompson enters his sixth season on head coach John Cohen’s staff in Starkville. Expectations are high for Thompson’s 2014 staff, which includes two returning AllAmericans and a total of 12 pitchers who top 90 or higher on the radar gun. Having coached 22 student-athletes who were undrafted out of high school and then turned them into Major League Baseball draft picks under Thompson, the Amory, Miss., native’s resume speaks for itself. Player development is key for Thompson, who has been in the trenches for 12 seasons inside the Southeastern Conference and has over two decades of collegiate baseball coaching experience. With experience comes success for the 1992 Birmingham-Southern graduate, both with his individual tutelage and his teams. Thompson has coached players to 21 total Division I All-American honors and 27 all-conference honors, including 2013 SEC Pitcher of the Year and San Francisco Giants’ first-round pick Chris Stratton, who is on his way to becoming the seventh player Thompson has tutored who has made it to “The Show.” The old adage “Pitching wins championships” still rings true for the mound vet, who has appeared in seven College World Series, including the 2013 CWS Championship Series in Omaha. Thanks in part to recruiting eight nationally-ranked recruiting classes, Thompson has been on nine conference championship teams and one national championship squad. Inside the toughest conference in college baseball the past two seasons, Thompson has guided the Bulldogs to a nation-leading 151 double plays. In almost 70 percent of games the last two campaigns, MSU has given up four runs or less (92 times), winning 84 percent of the time when doing so (77-15). The preaching of mental toughness has also come in handy, as MSU is 114-1 under Thompson the last three seasons when holding a lead after eight innings. This past season, Thompson’s group was one of two nationally to finish in the top 15 nationally in ERA, strikeouts per nine innings and hits allowed per nine innings. As a result of the success, Thompson saw five pitchers get drafted, including Top-10 picks Kendrall Graveman (8th Round, Toronto) and All-American Chad Girodo (9th Round, Toronto). In addition to Girodo, Thompson also coached lefty Ross Mitchell and righty Jonathan Holder to All-American honors in 2013. Mitchell, a reliever, was the only pitcher in the country with at least 13 wins and zero losses, owning a microscopic 1.53 ERA. Holder, a closer, became the ninth player in NCAA history with 21 saves in a single season, tying the SEC single-season saves record in the process. The previous season in 2012, the pitching general helped guide MSU’s staff to the nation’s second-lowest staff ERA (2.58), the best at State in nearly 40 seasons (1973). Thompson’s group ranked third in the SEC with 536 strikeouts and his hurlers came up big when it mattered most in the postseason, pitching State to five wins in six days en route to the 2012 SEC Baseball Tournament Championship. Leading the group was Stratton, who ranked first or second

COACHING STAFF in the league and among the nation’s leaders in wins, strikeouts and earned run average. In 2011, State pitchers ranked as the SEC league’s most improved after shaving 2.50 points off its staff ERA as the Bulldogs came within a win of a berth in the NCAA College World Series. A Mississippi man at heart, Thompson prepped at Amory (Miss.) High School and later starred as a pitcher at Itawamba (Miss.) Community College for coach Roy Cresap in 1989 and 1990. Thompson launched his coaching career as pitching coach and top assistant at Huntingdon College (Montgomery, Ala.) in 1993, before returning to his alma mater in Birmingham, where he helped he helped lead the Panthers to back-to-back Southern States Conference championships and in 1995 coached BSC to its first NAIA World Series berth. Thompson left BSC briefly to serve as head baseball coach at Jefferson State Community College in Birmingham in 1997. While at JSCC he was honored as the Regional Tournament Coach of the Year, the ABCA Alabama Junior College Coach of the Year and the Southeast Region Coach of the Year after guiding JSCC to a 39-21 mark, the AJCAA Region 22 State Championship and a third-place finish in the NJCAA Division II World Series. He returned to Birmingham-Southern as Shoop’s top assistant the following season, beginning a four-year run during the most successful span in BSC baseball history. The Panthers won 196 games and four TranSouth Conference championships and made three consecutive appearances in the NAIA World Series. BSC’s 2001 team posted a school-best 55-11 mark and captured the NAIA National Championship. In 2002 Thompson joined the SEC coaching fraternity, beginning a four-year term as pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at Georgia under head coach David Perno. Georgia’s 2003 recruiting class was ranked 10th nationally and UGA captured the 2004 SEC title and advanced through the NCAA Tournament to the NCAA College World Series. Following the 2005 campaign he continued his SEC affiliation at Auburn, serving as pitching coach and recruiting coordinator on the staff of Tom Slater. Each of his three recruiting classes at Auburn was ranked among the nation’s top 18, including a No. 5 national ranking in 2007. Thompson, honored as the 2006 Fellowship of Christian Athletes SEC Coach of the Year, has shared his expertise as a featured speaker at numerous baseball coaching clinics throughout America. He earned a bachelor’s degree in history at BSC in 1992 and completed a master’s degree in sports administration at UAB in 1996. He is married to the former Robin Ashe of Birmingham, Ala., and they are the parents of three daughters --- Anna, Olivia and Madelyn Gail.

HAILSTATE.COM
Averaging almost four players drafted in Major League Baseball for every year coached in college baseball, perhaps no other assistant on the collegiate level has more proven success at player development than Nick Mingione, who has been part of the Mississippi State baseball family since June 2008. Having completed his fifth season in Starkville and 12th total as an assistant coach in 2013, the current Diamond Dawg assistant has worked with 49 MLB Draft picks, coached 32 All-American Honors and developed three conference players of the year. Along with setting MSU’s outfielders, first basemen and hitters up to have success at the next level professionally, State’s third base coach is a proven winner. Lucky number seven has been Mingione’s calling card, having appeared in seven regionals, won seven overall championships and overseen seven nationally-ranked recruiting classes (in the last eight years no less). Mingione has won five conference championships, coached in five College World Series and has been a national championship finalist twice, the latest of which came in 2013 as the Bulldogs wrapped up the best season by any sport in the history of Mississippi State athletics. Mingione’s star pupil in 2013 was right fielder Hunter Renfroe, who earned All-American honors and was chosen 13th overall by the San Diego Padres in this past June’s MLB Draft. Renfroe’s $2.7 million signing bonus was the largest ever given to a prospect from the state of Mississippi. Additionally, MSU’s four players chosen in the top 10 rounds were the most in 28 years, while the five All-Americans were the most in school history. In 2012, the Bulldogs captured their seventh SEC Tournament Championship as the team advanced to the NCAA Tallahassee Regional. The year before, Mingione helped coach the Diamond Dawgs to the NCAA Atlanta Regional championship, falling one out shy of the College World Series. Before arriving in Starkville, Mingione was an assistant coach and the recruiting coordinator on head coach Bobby Moranda’s baseball staff at Western Carolina. As the hitting coach, Mingione helped direct a Catamount team which earned Top-40 national ranking among 286 NCAA Division I programs in 11 different offensive categories. Showing his skills at developing players, eight players coached by Mingione in 2008 eventually were drafted in the MLB Draft. In his first stint with MSU skipper John Cohen, Mingione served as an assistant coach at Kentucky. Despite winning 36 conference games total in the five seasons before his arrival, the Wildcats won 33 SEC games in just two seasons with Mingione in Lexington. The Wildcats went from worst to first in his first year, going from 29-27 (7-22 SEC) in 2005 to 44-17 (20-10 SEC) in 2006. The season culminated in the school’s first SEC championship, giving UK its most successful campaign in the 100-plus year history of the program. As a result, the school hosted a NCAA Regional for the first time and made an appearance in the postseason for the first time in 13 years. In all, Mingione was part of a

COACHING STAFF coaching staff with Cohen that helped set or reestablish 12 school records, including single-season wins. Working extensively with the UK outfield corps and with Wildcat hitters for two seasons, Mingione coached four eventual AllAmericans and six All-South Region players. One of those All-Americans was Ryan Strieby, who was named SEC Player of the Year, marking the third-straight season Mingione had worked with a conference player of the year. Off the field, Mingione mentored 2006 Academic All-American and current Los Angeles Angels’ star Colin Cowgill, as UK had 27 players selected to the SEC Academic Honor Roll in the two seasons the Tarrytown, N.Y., native was in Lexington. Mingione’s SEC debut was preceded by the same amount of success he experienced as an assistant coach from 2003-05 at his alma mater, Embry-Riddle. In three years as an assistant, the Eagles went 154-36 overall (.811), won the Florida Sun Conference championship each season and went to the NAIA World Series every year, finishing as a national finalist in 2005. In three years as an assistant in Daytona Beach, Fla., the Eagles boasted 17 all-region Honors, 20 all-conference accolades and two conference players of the year. Off the field, ERU registered a school-record five NAIA All-American Scholar-Athletes in 2004. Under Mingione’s watch, the Eagles’ defense excelled. After not having a fielding percentage above .960 in the first 11 years of the program, ERU recorded fielding percentages of .964 in Mingione’s first year (fourth all-time), .966 in 2004 (second) and a still school-record .970 in 2005. Thanks to the defense, the Eagles set a single-season school record with 53 total wins in both the 2004 and 2005 seasons. As an assistant at Florida Gulf Coast in 2002, Mingione helped build the foundation of the program before its debut in 2003, recruiting such players as Justin Stiver and Jason Louwsma. Stiver went on to become the first student-athlete from FGCU to get drafted by a major professional sports league, being taken by the Houston Astros in the 2006 MLB Draft. With Mingione having a keen eye for talent early on, Louwsma also went on to be drafted in the 2006 draft. Mingione grew up in the Sunshine State and played high school baseball for head coach Scott Jones at Mariner High School in Cape Coral, Fla., before playing collegiately at Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach. He earned a bachelor’s degree in aerospace studies with a triple minor in business, psychology and humanities in 2000. Upon graduation, Mingione started his coaching career in 2001 as an assistant coach for his high school alma mater. Away from the field Mingione went on a mission trip this past winter to the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas, where he and six current and former members of the MSU baseball program joined 19 others in building houses and putting on baseball clinics for the youth on the island. In January 2014, Mingione was inducted into the “Be The Best You Are” Baseball Clinic Speaker Hall of Fame. Mingione, is married to the former Christen Reeves.

2013 SEASON IN REVIEW THE BEST SEASON IN MSU HISTORY COMES TO AN END
By: Bob Carskadon (@BobCarskadon), HailStateBEAT
As we grow older, the more people we meet and with each new person we talk to, we learn that everyone has a story. Children and adults, astronauts and teachers, white, black, tall or short, individuals lead their own lives, however little of it we see. Each has a past with a corresponding present and future. Among all the masses, inside of every building and any place we turn, there are people. At Mississippi State, affectionately called the People’s University, they know it as well as any. John Cohen, head coach of MSU’s baseball team, said as much less than one month ago. Moments after winning the Starkville Regional – the first one on MSU’s campus in 10 years – and advancing to a Super Regional, Cohen didn’t talk about his team or hitting or pitching. “It’s the people who make Mississippi State special,” he said. He praised the fans, the members of the athletic department and the citizens of Starkville over his team’s successes. A couple weeks later, his Bulldogs arrived in Omaha, and again, it was the people who made Mississippi State special. This time, it was the people on his team. Sure, State was playing great baseball. They were hitting better than they had all year and the pitching staff had found a groove. But the people of Omaha, the media covering the College World Series, baseball fans across the country and MSU faithful everywhere fell in love with people, not players. ‘The Bench Mobb’ (second B is silent), made up of goofballs from the pitching staff, dancing, clapping, encouraging and even rapping in the dugout, were the stars of the twoweek event. Wes Rea became television’s favorite first baseman, the SEC football prospect who turned down the gridiron because he wanted to go to Omaha and play in the World Series. Trevor Fitts single-handedly saved Power Point with the presentation he gave Cohen asking his permission for the team to have facial hair, while also leading the charge for Team No Undershirt. Not a soul has come in contact with Luis Pollorena and not been touched by his story of childhood leukemia and his dedication to giving back now with the life wasn’t expected to have. Sledgehammers, mullets, rally dances, vine videos and Johnny Cash.

Not to mention the unheralded stories. Mitch Slauter, who was baptized in front of his teammates on the morning before his Senior Day at Dudy Noble Field. Sam Frost, the SEC’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year, perhaps a more impressive honor than any. This team showed us that everyone has a story, with countless more left untold. And that’s what made this team special. You couldn’t help liking them and rooting for them, MSU fan or not. The biggest crowd in the history of TD Ameritrade Park showed up not just because it was MSU’s first appearance in a National Championship, but because it was a team so easy to cheer for. In a lucky twist, one of the most likeable teams turned out to be one of the best teams in MSU history. From a matter of talent, others may take the top spot, but these Diamond Dawgs have completed the best season in the history of Mississippi State sports. In 120-plus years, they were the first to make it this far. But through their success, they may not be the last. After hosting a Regional for the first time in a decade, sweeping a Super Regional and starting 3-0 in Omaha, losing in the National Championship was a terrible, terrible feeling for these Bulldogs. Standing in the dugout, faces stained with tears and sweat, embraces between players, coaches and the like, the first feeling is defeat. Watching another team dog pile on the mound, gloves and hats thrown in the air while fireworks explode overhead and confetti falls across the stadium is, in that moment, the lowest of low. But, while a victory celebration took place on the field, cheers rose up in the stands. “Maroooooon!” “Whiiiiiite!”
Even late in the game, with the Bulldogs down more than a handful of runs and the outcome all but certain, MSU fans were louder than they had been all night. They were cheers of support, not of victory. The unspoken words behind the noise said, “Thank you. We’re proud of you.” Reaching the College World Series and playing for a National Championship meant an incredible amount to Cohen’s baseball program. It would take more money than MSU has to buy that kind of exposure, and nothing can replace the experience.

2013 SEASON IN REVIEW
But this run, this experience, is far bigger than baseball. In doing something no one in Maroon and White had done before, it became a Mississippi State benchmark. Academics and athletics, football and softball, men’s and women’s. These Bulldogs proved it can be done. No one had to tell themselves they believed. They did believe. Just as the state of Mississippi can claim generosity, hospitality and countless professional successes over any other shortcomings, so can Mississippi State now claim time at the top in spite of any days at the bottom. When you’re a kid, you always believe your team is the best in the country, that they can win it all. With age, realism and awareness set in. You know what limitations your team has. But now, for the first time, Bulldog fans have made it within reach of doing what they imagined as children. The baseball team knows it can win it all, and now everyone else has seen. Quarterbacks and defensive linemen watched their diamond counterparts and said, “Mississippi State really can win a National Championship.” Tennis players, basketball coaches and those from every sport saw the realization of dreams. Now they don’t just have to say, they know, “It can be done.” Following a season-ending loss, and career-ending for some, the sting of defeat bit hard in MSU’s dugout. Red-eyed Hunter Renfroe embraced Trey Porter, faces buried in each other’s shoulders, knowing they had played their last time together. Their careers in Maroon and White jerseys had come to an end. The last person back to the dugout, Jonathan Holder found his pitching coach Butch Thompson. No words were said. They didn’t need to be, and neither would’ve been able to take them in, anyway. A steady hug said everything they wanted to share. The athletics director, the president of the university, half of MSU’s entire department staff and a horde of media watched from the far side of the dugout as tears flowed. The end had come, so quick and so hard. It was goodbye for many, and the start of a long offseason for others. But just as it signified the end of a season, it symbolized the beginning of something else. In a short moment between the final explosion of
HAILSTATE.COM
fireworks and the beginning of celebratory music, the smallest of Mississippi State fans stood next to his dad, looking over the dugout at the team he had always believed in his young heart could win it all, and with the optimism borne through youth, offered the best encouragement he could. “We’ll get ‘em next year, guys.”

Mississippi State All-American Hunter Renfroe was the last Bulldog to hit two home runs in a game, doing so March 23, 2012 in an 11-2 upset victory against No. 3 Arkansas at Dudy Noble Field. One of the round-trippers was an inside-the-park homer, making Renfroe the first MSU player since Brad Corley in 2004 to accomplish the feat. One year after the two-dinger game, Renfroe was drafted 13th overall by the San Diego Padres in the 2013 MLB Draft.

HISTORY OF BULLDOG BASEBALL 1885 May 2
Mississippi A&M, behind team captain W.J. (Bill) Jennings, defeats Durant 7-2 in the first baseball game in MSU his- tory. Jennings, who holds the distinction of being credited as the first man in Southern college baseball who could throw a curve ball, baffles batters from all over the South in claiming A&M’s first 12 wins. His composite four-year record, during which time he pitched every game for the Maroons, was a sparkling 12-1.
1893 October 12
A&M defeats the University of Mississippi 6-3 in its first intercollegiate baseball game. The schools have met 446 times, easily the longest baseball rivalry for both schools.
1909 April 11
Willie Mitchell hurls the first perfect game in Mississippi A&M history by striking out 26 LSU batters and helping the Maroons slip past the Tigers 1-0 in the second game of a twinbill at Baton Rouge, La. Mitchell finishes with a 6-1 worksheet and dazzles his opponents by striking out 97 batters in 56-1/3 innings. Of his six victories, Mitchell throws one no-hitter, two one-hitters, two two-hitters, and one six-hitter.
1918 April 5-6
Maroon hurlers R.H. Pepper and J.T. Peatross shut down Mississippi College by tossing back-to-back no-hitters. Pepper opens the two-game series by allowing the Choctaws only four walks in a 5-0 A&M win. But his shining accomplishment is overshadowed the following day as Peatross pitches only the second perfect game in MSU history, downing Mississippi College 1-0.
1920 April 5
Legendary Dudy Noble Field namesake Clarke Randolph “Dudy” Noble coaches his first game at his alma mater, a 5-3 loss to the University of Illinois. Noble will go on to coach at MSU for 26 years, during which time he compiles a 267-201-9 record and wins three Southern Conference Championships.
1924 May 13
Two baseball rarities occur in the same game during a campus contest against Mississippi. Not only does A&M retire the Rebels on three straight pitches in one inning, but shortstop C.S. “Buddy” Myer gives the Maroons a much-needed boost by cranking out a grand slam to lead his team to a 6-4 victory. Myer’s shot is believed to be the first grand slam in the history of MSU. Myer would go on to play 17 years in the major leagues with Washington and Boston, hitting for a career average of .303.
1947 April 18
LSU outfielder Joe Bill Adcock launches a shot an estimated 500 feet into the MSU swimming pool at “old” Dudy Noble Field. Adcock would play only one season at LSU before playing 16 years in the major leagues, but his tremendous blow is still talked about by long-time Bulldog baseball fans.
1948 May 31
R.P. “Doc” Patty guides the Bulldogs to their first Southeastern Conference Championship in his initial season as head coach. MSU defeats Auburn in the championship playoff, three games to none, thanks to the efforts of All-SEC outfielder Johnny Grace, who led the Bulldogs with a .375 batting average.
1949 June
Mississippi State College wins its second consecutive SEC Championship by downing Kentucky three games to one in the title series. All-conference infielder Alex Grammas and brother Pete Grammas were crowd favorites in helping lead the Bulldogs to a 19-6 record. Alex Grammas would go on to play 10 seasons in the National League and later coach for the Detroit Tigers.
1965 May 9
Outfielder Del Unser belts three round-trippers and picks up a double to set a single-game team record for total bases with 14. Unser spreads his blasts around, sending a shot to all three fields as the Bulldogs fall to Mississippi, 10-7. The power outburst gives Unser seven homers, all coming in the last six regular-season games.
May 22
Behind conference hits-leader Mike Burns, the Bulldogs top Auburn in the SEC Championship Series, winning two games out of three. After falling to the Tigers in the series opener, MSU battles back with the strong pitching of Ken Tatum, who leads the Bulldogs to 10-1 and 10-2 victories to claim the conference crown. The title marked the first of four won under the guidance of coaching-great Paul Gregory.
1966 April 2
Pitcher James Carroll hurls 14 innings of four-hit baseball as he out-duels Alabama’s Kenny Stabler, 2-1. All-America outfielder Del Unser scores the winning run with two out in the bottom of the 14th.
May 14
Right-hander Ken Tatum starts on only two days rest and shuts down the Tennessee Volunteers 9-3, giving the Bulldogs their second consecutive SEC Championship. The game marked MSU’s final appearance at Redbird Park in Columbus, which for two seasons served as the home for of MSU Baseball while their “new” Dudy Noble Field was being built.

HISTORY OF BULLDOG BASEBALL 1970 May 5
Sophomore left-hander Gene Henderson stymies Arkansas in the nightcap with a no-hit performance that gives the Bulldogs, ranked fifth nationally, a doubleheader sweep over the Razorbacks, 6-0 and 1-0. Henderson, along with conference ERA-leader Dennis Hall (0.63) and wins-leader Brantley Jones (9-0), carries MSU to its fifth SEC title. State drops the first game of the best-of-three championship series against Tennessee but rebounds to claim the final two contests 4-3 and 1-0 at Dudy Noble Field.
1971 May 14
All-America third baseman Phil Still and All-SEC pitcher Mike Proffitt help lead the Bulldogs to 5-1 and 3-1 victories over Vanderbilt for their second consecutive SEC Championship on the way to a 32-12 record and the school’s first-ever appearance in the NCAA College World Series. After defeating the Commodores in two straight games for the league title, MSU then downs Georgia Tech 5-2 in the NCAA District III championship game in Gastonia, N.C., to become the fifth team from the SEC to advance to CWS competition.
1972 April 14
Dudy Noble Field hosts its first night game thanks to a new lighting system. MSU alumnus E.B. “Dutch” McCool, a former teammate of coach Paul Gregory, donates the lights to his alma mater, allowing the Bulldogs to play games at night when it is more convenient for fans to attend. McCool was one of the original founders of Holiday Inn.
1976 March 8
New Mississippi State head coach Ron Polk wins his first game as the Bulldog skipper, 4-0 over Louisiana Tech. MSU finishes the season 28-17, which begins a streak of 32 consecutive winning seasons for Mississippi State.
1977 March 19
Junior outfielder Nat Showalter begins the season with a modest six-game hitting streak in which he hits .700 (14- for-20) on his way to posting the MSU single-season record for batting average. Showalter, the current manager of the Baltimore Orioles and former skipper of the New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers, hits an SEC-leading .459 as he garners numerous all-America honors.
1979 May 14
Down 11-9 with one out in the bottom of the eighth, designated hitter Rick Dixon launches a slider nearly 400 feet over the left-center field fence for a three-run homer in the SEC Championship final. The win gives fourth-year head coach Ron Polk his first conference title in the first SEC Tournament held at Dudy Noble Field.
May 27
After falling to nationally-ranked New Orleans in the opening game, the Bulldogs successfully sweep through the loser’s bracket to claim the NCAA South Regional Championship. An 8-6 win over Murray State in the championship game of the first NCAA regional at Dudy Noble Field lifted MSU to its second appearance all-time in the prestigious NCAA College World Series.
1981 March 15
Junior first baseman Bruce Castoria sets a school record and ties the conference mark by driving in 10 runs against UNLV in Las Vegas. Castoria, who would set another school record by cranking four grand slams on the year, hits his second of the season against the Runnin’ Rebels, along with a three-run shot, an RBI single and two walks with the bases loaded to account for his 10 RBI.
May 24
State jumps out to an early six-run lead and holds off a late rally by East Tennessee State to win the NCAA Atlantic Regional Championship at Clemson, S.C., 6-5. The Bulldogs would go on to finish fifth nationally at the NCAA College World Series.
1983 February 25
Freshman Rafael Palmeiro slaps the first pitch he sees as a collegian over the right field fence for a three-run homer during the season-opener against Mississippi College. Palmeiro, who would later pile up 3,020 hits and 569 home runs in a remarkable 20-year pro career, proceeds to hit safely in his first 20 games en route to a team-high and SEC-best .406 batting average.
April 2
Future major league slugger Will Clark hits his first collegiate home run, an eighth-inning grand slam to straight- away center field, to help lead MSU to a 27-10 pounding over rival Mississippi. The following day, Clark comes in late as a pinch runner and scores the winning run in a 7-6 come-from-behind victory over the Rebels.
1985 May 12
Behind strong pitching and excellent defense, the Bulldogs overpower the field in three games to win the SEC Tournament at LSU’s Alex Box Stadium, clinching the title with an 8-3 win over Georgia.
May 27
MSU tops Michigan 19-8 in the championship game of the NCAA South I Regional to earn its third trip to the NCAA College World Series under Ron Polk. Right fielder/relief pitcher Bobby Thigpen, who a year before hit a grand slam in his first career at-bat at Dudy Noble Field, shines in his home finale by cranking another bases-loaded blast. MVP Jeff Brantley is among seven Bulldogs named to the 11-player all-tournament team.

The “new” Dudy Noble Field re-opens its gates to 4,040 fans who brave the chilly weather and experience what is considered by many to be the nicest baseball stadium in all of college baseball. The $3.5 million showcase consists of 3,700 chairback seats, two 1,500-seat bleachers down each line, and the spacious Joe Phillips Press Box. MSU doesn’t disappoint the home crowd, downing Birmingham-Southern 4-1.
May 14
Freshman center fielder Jody Hurst blasts two homers and Mississippi State scores four runs in the bottom of the ninth to lead the sixth-seeded Bulldogs over top-seeded Georgia, 6-5, in the opening-round of the SEC Tournament in Athens, Ga.

April 30
Coach Ron Polk’s Bulldogs claim their third SEC Championship in five years and the 10th in school history by winning a 28-16 slugfest at Kentucky, setting the single-game team record for most hits (30) and tying the record for most home runs (6).

THE SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE The Southeastern Conference, with its storied 80-year history of athletic achievements and academic excellence, has built perhaps the greatest tradition of intercollegiate competition in baseball of any league in the country since its inception in 1933. The SEC posted another tremendous season in 2013 as the conference had nine teams earn selection to NCAA postseason play with LSU and Mississippi State advancing to the College World Series. A SEC squad has now appeared in the College World Series 28 of the last 29 years. Mississippi State advanced to the National Championship Series, marking the ninth time since 2000 a SEC team played for the national championship in Omaha and sixth in a row. LSU won the SEC tournament title over Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt won the SEC regular-season title with a 26-3 conference record, while LSU won the Western Division with a 23-7 record. The Southeastern Conference boasts 12 former National Players of the Year (Florida’s Mike Zunino won in 2012), 11 Baseball America Coach of the Year and 10 Collegiate Baseball Coach of the Year honors. Also, 161 student-athletes have been named first-team All-American, six of which came in 2013. Three SEC players were taken in the first round of the 2013 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, held in June in New York City. Mississippi State’s Hunter Renfroe was selected 13th overall by San Diego. Jonathan Crawford of Florida was selected 20th by Detroit, while Arkansas’ Ryne Stanek was 27th by Tampa Bay. With those three selections this year, the SEC has now had a first round selection in each year since 1991 and 96 total in the first round during that time. The SEC drew a record of over 2.25 million fans to its oncampus ballparks in 2013, the seventh year in a row to draw over 1.6 million. Nine SEC teams drew in excess of 100,000 fans to their parks in 2013. The SEC averaged nearly 5,000 fans per game in 2013, the seventh straight year to exceed the 4,000 mark. The SEC Baseball Tournament drew a new record-high of 134,496 fans in 2013, 7,912 per game. The event has become the Birmingham metro’s highest attended sporting event annually, second in the state only to NASCAR races at Talladega. Birmingham Magazine recently named it the top sporting event in the Birmingham area. The SEC Championship Game was broadcast nationally on ESPN2, with the semifinals airing nationwide on ESPNews for the first time in 2012.

With the Bulldogs playing in six games, the tournament drew a then-record 129,112 fans in 2012, averaging crowds of 7,595. State’s six games in Hoover averaged 8,357 fans, including an MSU-dominated 12,526 in the championship game against Vanderbilt.

MSU PRESIDENT DR. MARK KEENUM Mississippi State University President January 2009-Present Dr. Mark Everett Keenum became Mississippi State’s 19th president Jan. 5, 2009, following a distinguished public service career. Despite difficult economic times, Dr. Keenum has guided Mississippi State to new heights. His quick action to address budget shortfalls put the university in position to meet those challenges and maintain the highest level of academic excellence. The university has experienced record enrollment growth, which includes students with the highest ACT average of any university in our state. Increased enrollment has also spurred new construction on campus, with two new residence halls completed and opened this August. The Mize Pavilion, a state-of-the-art basketball practice facility, was dedicated in 2011. The Leo W. Seal Jr. Football Complex was occupied in January 2013. Plans in the immediate future include construction of another new residence hall, a new classroom building, a new dining facility, and renovation of historic Lee Hall. The ongoing expansion and improvements at Davis Wade Stadium should be completed by August 2014. Since 2009, fundraising has reached all-time record levels. Giving by alumni and friends has surpassed $300 million over that period, including the highly successful StatePride initiative that is providing scholarships for students and support for MSU faculty. Dr. Keenum has also been instrumental in expanding the MSU Promise Program, which provides need-based scholarship assistance to Mississippi students whose families have limited financial means. Through the Sonny Montgomery Center for America’s Veterans, he has also led initiatives to make Mississippi State one of the most veteran-friendly universities in the nation. Mississippi State has strengthened its role as the flagship research university in the state. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classified MSU as a university with “very high research activity,” the only such designation in Mississippi. Dr. Keenum travels frequently to Washington, D.C., meeting with Congressional leaders and federal agency heads to pursue research opportunities and broaden the university’s influence on the national level. He has also worked closely with the governor, lieutenant governor and Mississippi Legislature in support of higher education in our state. Keenum was recently elected to a term on the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Colleges’ Executive Council. SACS is the recognized regional accrediting body in the 11 U.S. Southern states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia) and in Latin America for those institutions of higher education that award associate, baccalaureate, master’s or doctoral degrees. He was also recently elected to a term on the American Public Land-Grant Universities Board of Directors. Based in Washington, D.C., the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) is a research and advocacy organization of public research universities, land-grant institutions, and state university systems with member campuses in all 50 states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. A graduate of Mississippi State University with degrees in agricultural economics, Dr. Keenum began his career at MSU as a faculty member with the Extension Service and the Department of Agricultural Economics. He went on to serve as chief of staff to U.S. Senator Thad Cochran in Washington, DC

and was Under Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture prior to returning home to Mississippi State. He graduated from Corinth (MS) High School, earned an associate of arts degree from Northeast Mississippi Community College in Booneville and was a member of the Northeast Tigers football team.

MSU DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS SCOTT STRICKLIN Mississippi State University Director of Athletics May 2010-Present Using more than two decades of intercollegiate experience in communications, development and marketing, Scott Stricklin has built a wave of momentum within the Mississippi State fan base during his tenure as the director of athletics. From his first day on the job as Mississippi State’s Athletic Director in May 2010, Stricklin, integrating the department’s three foundations of focus on student-athletes, possessing great integrity and aggressively promoting Mississippi State University, has overseen a stretch in which the Bulldogs enjoyed both on and off the field successes unparalleled in more than a decade. The Bulldog football team has advanced to bowl play each of the last four seasons. Record attendance, including a streak of more than 30 consecutive sellouts, has prompted a $75 million renovation and expansion of Davis Wade Stadium which will be done this fall. Last January, the football program moved into the $25 million Leo W. Seal, Jr. Football Complex. Spring sports, including baseball, softball, men’s and women’s golf and track and field have each excelled and advanced to NCAA postseason play under Stricklin’s guidance. In the 2012-13 academic year, 10 Mississippi State sports advanced to NCAA postseason play with six earning top 25 rankings during the season. Stricklin has overseen coaching changes in men’s and women’s basketball along with soccer and softball. Each coach possesses the passion and excitement along with intelligence and discipline required to lead Bulldog athletic programs. In the classroom, Bulldog student-athletes continue to excel. In the fall of 2012, for the second time in three semesters, Mississippi State’s men and women athletes established their best-combined grade point average with a 3.04 for the term. In the spring, women’s sports posted an overall GPA of 3.25 and every female sports team earned a GPA over 3.0. In 2013, Bulldog student-athletes again excelled in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate, with all 16 sports far exceeding the minimum standard. Stricklin has overseen record fundraising for Bulldog Athletics, which has produced new facilities such as the $11.7 million Mize Pavilion at Humphrey Coliseum, a new $25 million football practice and training complex as well as $75 million in expansion and upgrades to Davis Wade Stadium. The Bulldog Club has solicited gifts totaling more than $25 million for the football facility, including a record $12 million gift from the Seal Family Foundation. The Bulldog Club has initiated the most ambitious fundraising drive in the athletic department’s history – an initiative called “Today, Tomorrow, Forever” – to generate funding for new construction and upgrades to existing facilities. Supporters are responding at the turnstiles as well. In 2013, Mississippi State fans packed Davis Wade Stadium for every game, buying all available season tickets for the fourth-consecutive season. Capacity crowds have become the norm as 30-consecutive home games have been sold out, and the school has created a waiting list that has topped 1,000 requests for season ticket purchases. Stricklin certainly wasn’t a stranger to the Bulldog family or college athletics when he took over the reins at State. A 1992 graduate of Mississippi State, the Jackson, Miss., native’s resume is highlighted by 24 years of experience on the collegiate level in various capacities at five different universities. In the two years prior to becoming athletic director, he
136
served as Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs at his alma mater, overseeing fundraising, football and men’s basketball scheduling, managing MSU’s all-sport agreement with Adidas, facility planning, and serving as the administrative sport liaison for men’s basketball and softball. It was those types of day-to-day tasks that prepared the personable Stricklin to take over the top seat in the Mississippi State athletic department. Yet it’s a journey that started during his formative days as a dedicated and tireless worker in the Mississippi State media relations department that’s led to his highly-respected career coming full circle. Prior to graduating, Stricklin’s stint in the MSU media relations office included three seasons (1990-92) as the media contact for the nationally-renown baseball program. Upon graduation, he was named assistant media relations director at his alma mater. He continued his climb up the ladder of success when he was named Associate Media Relations Director at Auburn, where he served from 1993-98. In 1998, Stricklin left Auburn to become Assistant Athletics Director at Tulane, where he served as the primary media contact for the Green Wave’s 1998 12-0 football team. Next came a four-year run in the Big 12 Conference at Baylor (1999-2003) as Assistant AD for Communications and Marketing. In 2003, Stricklin returned to the Southeastern Conference at Kentucky and spent five seasons as the Associate AD for Media Relations, where he oversaw the day-to-day publicity of the tradition-rich Wildcat basketball program. It was his last stop before returning to Mississippi State in the spring of 2008. Stricklin, 43, is married to the former Anne Howell, the youngest daughter of Basketball Hall of Fame member Bailey Howell. The couple has two daughters, Abby and Sophie.

DUDY NOBLE FIELD
Dudy Noble Field, Polk-DeMent Stadium, voted in June 2013 by StadiumJourney.com as the best ballpark in college baseball, reached several significant milestones during the 2013 campaign. The 2013 season marked the 47th season of baseball at the current site of Mississippi State baseball’s on-campus home field, Dudy Noble Field. And in the 47th season since MSU first settled into its current on-campus baseball home in 1967, Mississippi State registered its 1,000th win, prevailing in more than 73 percent of its 1,400-plus games it has hosted over the past six decades. Over the past five decades, the facility has evolved into the nation’s largest campus facility for college baseball and what many regard as the sport’s finest all-around baseball complex. MSU has eclipsed the 200,000 mark in paid attendance at Dudy Noble Field seven times in the past 12 years, including a school-record 281,840 in 2013 and a school-best average of 7,617 during MSU’s magical run to Omaha this past summer. This past year also saw the Diamond Dawgs’ fifth millionth fan walk through the turnstiles at Dudy Noble Field. Since home attendance figures were charted starting in 1976, the “Carnegie Hall of College Baseball” has seen 5,057,646 fans rush through the turnstiles. The field is named in honor of longtime MSU baseball coach, athletics director and ABCA Hall of Famer Clarke Randolph “Dudy” Noble. On April 27, 1998 the facility was renamed Dudy Noble Field, Polk-DeMent Stadium, honoring another ABCA Hall of Famer, former Bulldog skipper Ron Polk and the late Gordon DeMent, a successful businessman and longtime fan of the Baseball Bulldogs from Indianola, Miss. Dudy Noble Field, the home to seven Southeastern Conference championship teams, has three times hosted crowds in excess of 14,000, including an NCAA on-campusrecord 14,991 that watched the Bulldogs take on Florida in a Saturday twinbill in 1989. State has hosted crowds of 10,000 or better 31 times, including 2007 NCAA Super Regional-record draws of 13,715 and 12,620 for nationally-televised late morning games against Clemson. MSU has hosted three NCAA District III Tournaments (1973-1975), five SEC tournaments (1979, 1981, 1983, 1988 and 1995), 12 NCAA Regional tournaments (1979, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1997, 2000, 2003 and 2013) and its first NCAA Super Regional in 2007. From 1929 until 1964, Mississippi State hosted its
HAILSTATE.COM
baseball games at the original on-campus site for Dudy Noble Field several hundred yards to the south of Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field, State’s football stadium. The baseball field was closed following the 1964 season to make way for the construction of Dorman Hall. And for the next two seasons, while the “new” Dudy Noble Field was being built, the Diamond Dawgs played their home games in Columbus, Miss., at Redbird Park, capturing SEC titles both seasons at their temporary home. Meanwhile, the tin-roofed grandstand and 2,000-seat bleachers at the old field were moved to the stadium’s present site, which became playable for the 1967 season. Facility enhancements have followed a steady pace over the years ever since. In 1971, thanks to the generosity of the late E.B. “Dutch” McCool, a former MSU baseball player and one of the founding fathers of Holiday Inn, Inc., MSU took the lead in the Southeastern Conference with the installation of a lighting system. The advent of night baseball in Starkville helped build a solid fan base. Drainage and irrigation systems and an expanded scoreboard with an animation-equipped message center, new batting ranges and an infield tarp became the stadium’s next improvements. Mississippi State hosted its first SEC Baseball Tournament and NCAA Regional in 1979, winning both and setting attendance marks while opening eyes along the way. The crowds mushroomed further in the 1980s as future Major League stars Jeff Brantley, Will Clark, Rafael Palmeiro and Bobby Thigpen helped the 1985 Bulldogs win the SEC championship, host and win another regional championship and earn MSU’s highest national finish, a tie for third place at the NCAA College World Series. It became apparent that support for baseball at State had easily out-grown its cozy Dudy Noble Field facility. Two years after that magical ‘85 season Mississippi State unveiled a dramatic advancement for its baseball facilities — an impressive $3.5 million project that would give MSU the biggest baseball stadium in the league. The new facility at Dudy Noble Field, built in less than nine months, featured an impressive concrete grandstand structure with 3,700 maroon theater-style seats, a spacious elevated press box, restrooms, ticket, souvenir and concessionvending facilities. The team clubhouse featured a spacious 40-locker dressing room and team area. A pair of 1,500-seat bleachers that once overlooked the end zones at Scott Field, the
@HAILSTATEBB
137
DUDY NOBLE FIELD home of MSU’s football Bulldogs, were refurbished and installed along the foul lines, raising seating capacity at Dudy Noble Field to 6,700. The facility was later chosen by Sports Illustrated as the best place to watch college baseball, and it helped ignite a drive to update baseball facilities throughout the SEC and beyond. The expanded capacity at the stadium also triggered an increase in MSU’s annual baseball season ticket base to more than 5,600, virtually assuring Mississippi State’s place among national leaders in college baseball attendance every year. A second permanent concession stand was added in 1989, and a year later, the cinder warning track at the outfield fence was extended to completely encircle the playing field. That project, along with the installation of a six-foot high padded outfield fence, was made possible by a donation by former MSU All-American and Major League standout Will Clark. Best-selling author, MSU alumnus and avid MSU baseball fan John Grisham donated funding in 1993 for an indoor batting range under the first base grandstand, and in August 1998 construction got under way on an ambitious project that added 18 sky suites and more than 600 additional chairback seats in the grandstand. When it was completed during the 2000 season, permanent seating capacity at Dudy Noble Field had eclipsed the 7,000 mark. The aura of Mississippi State baseball at Dudy Noble Field is certainly not confined to the loyal legions in the impressive grandstand, pro-style luxury sky suites and bleachers. In fact, some of the more highly-prized seats at Bulldog Baseball games are found beyond the outfield fence in the “Left Field Lounge.” Waiting lists greet those seeking to purchase one of nearly 75 renewable season parking passes for an assigned position in one of three rows beyond the outfield fence. There, a colorful assortment of pickup trucks, motor homes, and trailers — most equipped with barbecue grills — line the outfield fence, completing a circle of humanity at Dudy Noble Field. What began in the late 1960s as a popular gathering spot for baseball-loving MSU students now forms college baseball’s largest tailgate party. A 10-foot wide boardwalk has since been added to the area between the outfield fence and the first row of outfield terrace parking. Not surprisingly MSU ranks each year among the nation’s leaders in attendance. Single-game paid attendance totals have reached the five-digit mark 31 times, and each year Dudy Noble Field routinely hosts games with the Southeastern Conference’s largest actual attendance. SEC weekend games typically draw the largest crowds, giving rise to huge weekend gatherings in the spring. Seven of the last nine three-game Super Bulldog Weekend series have drawn more than 25,000, including an SEC series-record 32,679 fans that watched the 2013 MSU-Auburn series. Still, the improvements continue at Dudy Noble Field. Prior to the start of the 2003 season 46-foot “major league” foul poles were added, and a year later a new state-of-the-art scoreboard/message center, courtesy of the Henry Mize Foundation, was installed along with new fencing and gates surrounding the main grandstand. The landscape surrounding Dudy Noble Field took on an even more impressive look in 2005 with the completion of the Palmeiro Center, a massive 68,000-square foot climatecontrolled turfed indoor practice facility located adjacent to Dudy Noble Field. The spacious facility, made possible by a generous lead gift from former MSU great Rafael Palmeiro and his wife Lynne, features a regulation infield practice area, additional training area and three retractable batting cages. Nestled between the Palmeiro Center and Dudy Noble Field is the baseball coaches office complex, also completed in 2005. The complex, which also houses a baseball heritage room, was made possible by contributions from former Bulldog players Jeff Brantley, Will Clark, Eric DuBose, Paul Maholm, Jay Powell and Bobby Thigpen and former MSU manager
138
James “Bo” McKinnis. Mississippi State’s baseball complex received a boost with the addition of the Bryce Griffis Boardroom, a $1.5 million, meeting/banquet hall extension on the south end of the Palmeiro Center. The facility features banquet seating for approximately 350. Facility upgrades totaling more than $2 million in the past three years include an expanded state-of-the-art high definition video board, the addition of a new drainage and irrigation system along with a new carpet of natural sod and infield dirt, and expanded dugouts. Even the grandstand got a little more grand with a resurfacing and repainting project topped by all-new cupholder-equipped maroon chairback seats and the installation of a new sound system. Prior to the start of the 2012 campaign work was completed on the installation of a new sound system, a 36,000-watt amplification system evenly distributing sound on a 78-speaker system throughout the stadium. These latest facility enhancements continue an ongoing Mississippi State campaign to maintain the standing of Dudy Noble Field as one of the nation’s premier venues for college baseball.
